Cruising New Zealand s subantarctic islands: Where the wild things are

Call of the wild: New Zealand s southern-most islands are a wilderness hotspot. If you are looking for adventure, exploration, and candid wildlife encounters, seek out some of most isolated islands on Earth. Andrea Vance and Iain McGregor visited New Zealand’s subantarctic islands with Heritage Expeditions. Bare, slippery granite, pummelled by the Southern Ocean, and washed clean of soil and vegetation, the Bounty Islands appear to be one of the most inhospitable places on Earth. Iain McGregor/Stuff Rockhopper penguins scrambled onto the Bounty Islands’ rocky shore. They lie almost 700km south-east of the South Island, and with no safe anchorage or obvious landing sites, or freshwater, they are the most remote and least visited of New Zealand’s subantarctic islands. Their Māori name – Moutere Hauriri – means “angry wind”.
